Theoretical study on the structure, spectroscopic, and current–voltage behavior of 11-Cis and Trans retinal isomers in rhodopsin

Abstract In this study, the electronic transport properties of 11-Cis and Trans retinal, components of rhodopsin, were investigated as optical molecular switches using the nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism combined with first-principles density functional theory (DFT). These isomers,...
